I know you are all waiting to read this. I see the long wishlists. I am not thrilled with this book.
You have a very bad family situation. The mother is subversive. Her mom, is just trying to survive, but doesn't openingly object to things her husbands states. Her mom will tell Tara, to defy her father's wishes when he can't hear.
The abuse, and neglect, is disturbing to me. The head/brain injuries, left untreated, the poor medical care, There are MAJOR car accidents, and the vehicle not having insurance nor seatbelts and this family was not reported for abuse, neglect? The constant reference to Tara being a whore or whoring after the world.
The thing is, this doesn't really improve when she gets educated. She just does more but different painful things as she tries to break away from her past and reinvent herself.
